Landscapes of Liguria

Landscapes of Liguria Landscapes of Liguria

Liguria being one of the smallest regions in Italy has still very varied landscapes. The narrow coastal strip along the Mediterranean Sea is directly released from the hills and mountains of the hinterland, the foothills of the Alps and the Ligurian Apennines.

Above all, the landscapes of the Ligurian coast are known among the holidaymakers as "wonderful Liguria". The Riviera di Ponente, the western part of Liguria in Genoa just near the French border, is known as "the coast of the setting sun" and the Riviera di Levante, the eastern part of Genoa to La Spezia, is "the coast of the rising sun". Many of the holiday vacation resorts are connected along the coast by the major coastal road, the Via Aurelia that leads right to Rome. The Riviera di Ponente is devided into the flower Riviera (the Riviera Fiori) from Ventimiglia to Cervo, and the palm Riviera (Riviera delle Palme) from Alassio to Genoa. Further to the east there are located the magnificent picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre called "the five countries".

The barren hilly hinterland of Liguria with the Ligurian Alps and the Ligurian Apennines makes a unique beauty. Ligurian network wants to present the landscapes of Liguria and wishes much joy in discovering its beauty.
